Imagine swimming, whether you are at the beach, your friends pool, or on a tropical island. There's always that one instance when you wish you had a camera to capture a moment but couldn't. Recently, Hammacher Schlemmer released the world's first digital camera swim mask. This great device give you the freedom to take those awesome/goofball underwater shots you always wanted to. As a scuba diver I find this device to be quite handy. Lugging a camera around underwater can be quite annoying; dropping it, trying to swim, making sure the lens cover is off which i tend to forget to do etc. The camera is 5 mega pixels and can also record video! It requires AAA bateries and includes a 15 megabyte memory stick (which you can upgrade for more space), and software for both pc and mac. Normally decent underwater digital cameras cost a couple of hundred bucks. The digital camera swim mask costs a jaw dropping $99. High quality and affordable the underwater camera enthusiast's dream. It is a revolutionary invention which allows one to savor those precious underwater memories.
